All I am saying is that Mississippi State had a bye week to get ready for Auburn, they were not ready for Auburn.

The Auburn Tigers rolled in Starkville, in a game that Mississippi State never really was in as momentum swung to Auburn early in the first quarter and the Bulldogs never recovered. Mississippi State looked almost disinterested in this game as a whole. Coming off a bye week and having your worst performance of the year is never a good sign, for any team. The Bulldog offense continues to struggle on the ground and Nick Fitzgerald could never establish much through the air, or when he did a turnover would occur, thanks to Fitzgerald’s offensive line which was porous at best.

If Mississippi State is going to rebound, they have to find their running game, which is when they are at their best, till then, the bulldogs wills struggle.

Next game: October 14, at BYU, 10:15pm ET ESPN
